Help!, the album was such a great comeback from Beatles For Sale, which was a bit depressing. I mean, I can't complain they are still amazing song writers and players, but it was just a downer of an album. It was just unexpected considering all of their other songs are really catchy and exciting, and this one just sounded tired and sad. But, Help! is definitely a step up. I personally, love the cover:
They are so happy and just look adorable in contrast to the previous album cover where they looked cold and depressed.
Some of my favorite songs off of this album are "Help!" (of course), "Ticket to Ride", "You're Going to Lose That Girl", "It's Only Love", and my absolute favorite "Yesterday". It's weird because I normally like all of the Beatle's more upbeat songs and the one's that are slow and deep and all are just too boring for me. But when I was listening to the lyrics of this song it was really just awesome. Those are some powerful lyrics! For example:
Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday
I honestly normally don't listen to the words to these deep songs and just kind of write them off as slow and boring but this song just sticks in my mind for some reason. It's just one of those songs I love that are out of my normal groove. I also think it's cool that so many people have covered this song.
"Yesterday" The Beatles
"Yesterday" covered by Marvin Gaye
I think it's cool how in covers, artists add their own twist and style to the song. That's why I think it's so awesome that this song is the most recorded song in history..so many people have put a spin on it.
